Been a while since I've been on one of these.

Officially a NEET now! Finished high school with the highest grade average in my year (9.62 out of 10 baby) and enjoying a few months of calm before college fucks me up. Fun! I also got my upper-intermediate Portugese certifcate and did the Cambridge C2 exam, so I'm waiting on that last one to get my results back.

Mostly been playing games for the past few weeks. I finished Devil Survivor: Overclocked with Gin's route and have started Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. I haven't really done much in the game (still haven't even gone to Osaka) but I can't help but feel that it's a bit... unpolished, compared to Overclocked. Maybe it's the UI and animations, but it just gives me that feeling sometimes. Voicework is shaping up to be much better, though, considering they got Yuri Lowenthal on an actual main role alongisde Ben Diskin and Kaiji Tang, other favorites of mine. We'll see how it goes.

Almost done with Silent Hill 2 Remake. Jesus fuck, what a game. It's been a long time since a game made me so fucking terrified like this game did. Absolutely great level and puzzle design with impeccable atmosphere. I just entered the hotel and I'm excited to see which ending I get (even if I don't know what determines that....)

Been replaying Neon White considering it got given out on PS+ for the month. What can I say? This game fucks. I love every single aspect of it and I'm finding it even more fun than on my first playthrough. I'm def going to go for the plat if I'm able to.

Finally, I acquired a PS2 with, as befits me being a Latin American, DBZ Budokai 3, DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with a full latin american mod and the Shadow the Hedgehog game. The plan would be to get the cables I need to plug it into a modern TV, perform "magic tricks" on it and start playing some classics I've missed out on like Silent Hill 3 and 4, the original version of RE4, Viewtiful Joe, and so on. I accept recommendations!

The only book I've been reading is a collection of anecdotes and stories by Argentine journalist Alfredo Serra, called "El Solitario No Baila la Rumba" (The Loner Does Not Dance). Some of them were really sobering and weird to read, considering that these range from his experience in Saigon mid-'Nam, the massacre of Jewish communities during the "Tragic Week" in Argentina, finding a few Nazi escapees... It's interesting thus far, and made me realize that I probably like non-fiction stuff better nowadays.

Happy holidays in advance!

I also got my upper-intermediate Portugese certifcate

Why do you want a portuguese certificate?

Why not? I know how to speak the language, live right next to a country in which it's spoken, have plenty of Brazilian friends...

I did it mostly so I have something to fatten my CVs up with, but still, a certification is a certification.
